unwanted mushrooms in the weed pots

[Opie Yutts]

When you dig around in the soil do you notice white thread like almost mold looking growth?

I haven't dug around yet except to check for moisture, and I have not seen anything like that. I may transplant tomorrow.

Thank you as well pudder, for chiming in. Your experience is valued here. I'm not sure what soil that is, but if I can remember correctly it was Nature brand potting soil, with about 20% perlite and 10% vermiculite added. This is my normal mix, but the brand varies. Not sure. The shrooms are coming out of the soil, not the stalk. Don't know the humidity, but it's not real high probably around 50%. I put a small fan in there since this started.

I hope that answers your questions, and I appreciate your insight. My plan was to transplant it tomorrow (probably), get it healthy enough for cloning (hopefully), then start another mother and trash the first one. But are you saying the mycelium might be in a cutting from an apparent healthy mother as well? How is this possible unless mycelium is a systemic, and I'm pretty sure it's not.

Pudder, I'm leaving those posts up since thye DO relate to this problem (and they're really good posts!) but FYI we don't talk about 'shrooms' here and if we can all just refer to mushrooms as mushrooms and stay out of the grey areas that get threads deleted it would be best. If you were growing shiitakes or other edibles it would be okay, just stay off the subject of psychoactive ones please.
Thanks for understanding, I don't want to be a hard ass here.

No it will not be in a cutting just the soil the plant is in. I highly dought it will travel throughout the plant. If it did your plant would prolly be dead.

I understand that StinkyAttic. I would not talk about them on Cannabis.com. I just seen that there may have been a problem with his plant. psychoactive mushrooms grow differently then other edibles. This is why I was leaning towards that side on this discussion. Just in case anyone got th idea to try eating these. Which I wouldn't with what they are growing on.

I am here for marijuana and that is it just seen that there was a little mushrooms involved and it could be a problem.

Muchrooms need oxygen to live(Opposite of Plants)Could you not fllod you grow area with CO2.

No mycelium requires extremely low amounts of oxygen to survive(they can survive in sealed jars for at least a week).
It would be impossible to get enough oxygen out.
You also couldn't kill the mycelium with temperature. I bring the temperature down to 36°F to induce fruiting and it survives. And heat destroys mycelium right around 103°F.


If you want rid of it totally cloning is the answer. You still may want to rinse the cuttings to get any spores that might be on them off. I'm sure you don't want anymore mushrooms. The spores are small but you can see them as tiny tiny dots that are most likely a dark color. As long as the cuttings are clean there is no way mycelium can be in or on them.


But if you don't see any mycelium in the dirt it may have already died off or stopped it's growth. Sometimes the mycelium will die after one flush and may have since it has less than ideal growing conditions, but the mycelium does love the vermiculite because it holds water so well. I would check and if you don't see any or not much I would just take the cuttings and not worry about transplanting. If theres not a lot you will most likely be ok for awhile. I think it may have already died off because the mycelium would probably be breaking the surface off the soil by now.

Is the plant healthy?

Huh? What happened? Did I miss something? Stinky, you are leaving what posts up? Are these posts that I have read? I mean are they in this thread or are you talking about other posts?

Oh just reread, and I think perhaps we are not allowed to abbreviate the word "mushroom" to "shroom"? That would explain some things, since I was pretty darn sure I titled this thread "Shrooms in the weed pots". What the hell happened to freedom of speech?! This was the last place I would expect the things I write to be censored. Without notification, provocation or discussion, kinda like a dictatorship. Just goes to show that no matter where you go, no matter how much you feel safe, you will never truly be free.

Holy cow Stinky, I just don't get it. Since I was 3 years old I, and the people in my neck of the woods have called all manner of mushrooms "shrooms." Now suddenly if I want to post on this forum I'm not allowed to use that perfectly harmless abbreviation. I find it quite interesting that the title I chose for this thread was perfectly fine for over a month, then it gets changed because someone suggests that some unexpected mushrooms may or may not be the kind that stain purple.

You cannot judge a book by it's cover, and just because someone says "shrooms" on the cover of their book, does not mean they are advocating the use of any illegal substance inside the book.

Well stinky, I'm not mad. Just sort of kidding and playing devils advocate. I understand the need curb talk of illegal drugs. However I don't think someone mentioning that my unwanted shrooms might or might not contain psylociben is anything to get all uppity about. I just was a little taken back that my words would be altered, with no mention of it. Overall I think that you are one of the best mods in this forum, and I appreciate all your help and everything you do here. Please keep up the good work, and I'll try not to say "shroom" any more.

Hell no. Read the 3rd and 4th post in this thread.

Thought maybe she came back transplant time. :thumbsup:
